Right…so that was how long it took their solar system to circle in orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Cassie hadn’t chanced a guess with that question but she copied the professor’s answer into her notes so she had the information at hand. Who knew if it or something about it was going to be on the OWLs at the end of term. When she was done, the fifth year followed Professor Berkovich’s direction to the activity she wanted them to do. The Ravenclaw now more aware of the reason for the charmed ceiling of the classroom…to ensure what she wanted to be seen, was actually seen.

Cass took out a clean sheet of parchment and wrote out the three celestial items on it, leaving enough space to diagram each individually. Then with her textbook open before her and the sky spread out above her, she proceeded to locate each named item piece by piece, her eyes constantly glancing between the charmed ceiling and her textbook as she worked. Eventually she was satisfied with what she had and laid down her quill beside her filled parchment.

SPOILER!!: Parchment
